THE 

LEWIS  AND  CLARK  CENTENNIAL  EXPOSITION 

AND  THE  GOLDEN  WEST 


Opening   at  Portland,    Oregon,  June  i,  1905.        Closing  Oct.   ijj, 
Area,  405  acres.      Cost,  $7,500,000. 

T^  OMMEMORATES  the  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  famous  and  daring  expedition 
of  the  intrepid  explorers,  Lewis  and  Clark,  which  made  possible  the  acquisition  and 
permanent  occupation  of  Oregon  and  the  magnificent  Golden  West.  From  May  14, 
1804,  until  Sept.  23,  1806,  these  bold  discoverers  wandered  over  four  thousand  miles, 
covering  the  grandest  and  most  wonderful  country  on  the  face  of  the  globe,  the  natural  beauties 
and  wonders  of  which  are  so  graphically  and  exquisitely  portrayed  in  this  superb  collection  of 
photographic  gems.  Washington's  noble  harbors  and  busy  seaports,  miles  of  wheat  fields  and 
orchards;  the  boundless  resources  of  the  beautiful  Puget  Sound  country;  Idaho's  vast  forests 
and  inexhaustible  mines;  Oregon's  matchless  fisheries,  dairies  and  unequalled  pastures;  Califor- 
nia's magnificent  scenery,  tropical  and  sub-tropical  fruits,  ideal  climate  and  balmy  air,  are  a  few 
attractive  features  of  the  immense  domain  acquired  as  a  result  of  this  famous  expedition. 

The  grandeur,  the  sublimity  and  the  varied  tinting  of  Nature's  spectacular  Empire  of  the 
West,  the  mighty  cascades,  the  awe-inspiring  canons  bathed  in  crimson,  emerald  and  amber,  the 
snow-capped  peaks  enthroned  amid  the  blazing  clouds,  are  faithfully  reproduced  in  this  exquisite 
brochure.  "No  word  or  symbol  of  man's  devising,  no  brush  of  his  wielding  or  colors  of  his 
blending,  can  translate  what  God  has  here  written."  A  kingdom  in  itselt,  bounded  by  the 
world's  largest  body  of  water,  the  Golden  Pacific,  a  vast  expanse  of  valuable  timbered  land, 
miles  of  canons  and  lofty  mountains,  a  rich  and  bountiful  country  for  the  home-seeker,  an 
empire  that  will  continue  to  exist  centuries  after  the  memory  of  this  beautiful  and  inspiring 
Exposition  shall  have  passed  away.  THE  PUBLISHERS

promenade,  adding  an  exquisite  touch  of  nature  to  the  surrounding  palaces  of  this  magnificent  Dream  City  of  marvelous 
sights  and  wonders;  an  enchanted  garden  in  the  midst  of  a  Fairyland  of  fountains  and  gilded  domes. 


CALIFORNIA  —  Cost,  $50,000.  Total  appropriation,  $90,000.  A  unique  structure  in  the  form  of  a  Maltese  cross,  each

and  embellish  the  rich  simplicity  of  the  interior.

and  Orientals  mingle  with  the  vast  crowds  which  throng  the  busy  Trail.  Arabs  resplendent  in  their  eastern  costumes,

HITTING  THE  TRAIL— A  striking  group  of  sculpture,  characteristic  of  early  days  in  the  great  Northwest.  The  sculptor 
has  certainly  caught  the  right  spirit  in  his  interpretation  of  the  daring  cowboys  of  the  plains -a  type  that  is  rapidly  disap- 
pearing and  giving  place  to  the  onward  march  of  civilization.

gold  key  in  Washington  which  started  the  great  wheels  of  the  exposition  in  motion.  .Flags  were  instantly  unfurled,  guns, 
were  fired,  and  the  first  great  western  Exposition  was  officially  declared  open. 


DETAIL.  VIEW  OF  FORESTRY  BUILDING  —  The  visitor  never  tires  of  viewing  this  quaint  structure  unequalled 
from  an  architectural  point  by  any  similar  building.  Every  piece  of  material  used  in  its  construction  is  a  product  of  the 
great  northwestern  forests.  One  of  the  most  unique  structure  ever  erected  at  an  Exposition.

rivalling  the  most  ardent  dreams  of  childhood's  Fairyland. 


GRAND  ENTRANCE,  LEWIS  AND  CLARK  EXPOSITION  —  Provision  has  been  made  for  handling  the 
enormous  crowds  without  delay  or  annoyance,  and  all  exits  ate  plainly  designated.  The  street  cars  stop  at  the  Main

farmer,  mechanic  or  the  denizen  of  the  large  cities.  Something  novel  in  the  way  of  an  exhibit.  Many  rare  and  valuable 
animals  and  fowls  will  be  shown,  and  the  display  is  arranged  in  the  form  of  a  regular  farm.  Its  owner,  Mr.  Davenport,  has 
acquired  an  enviable  reputation  as  a  cartoonist  and  a  fancier  of  thoroughbred  animals.
